Adventures in Substitute Teaching (EP 77): Eastbluff, Adams, Harbor View (2x) & College Park (NMUSD)

Filmed from January 27 – January 31, 2025.
This subseries is specifically to chronicle my journey after student-teaching life, wherein I was still substitute teaching here and there, but focused on student teaching. In total, I student taught math for 602.5 hours. In December 2022, I completed the credential program at Vanguard University of Southern California and was issued a full-math credential from the CTC on January 6, 2023. I began the Master's Program three days later on Jan. 9, also at VUSC. I officially became "Matthew Kenslow, M.Ed." on May 2, 2024. (Here's the video I made about it:    • Graduation Vlog 2024: I Got My Master’s In...  )

In late 2023, I published my 2nd book about my ENTIRE journey through student teaching, substitute teaching, and much more. It is titled "UNSTOPPABLE: How One Person with Autism Is Never Giving Up on His Lifelong Dream To Become a Teacher and Worldwide Influencer," and is available in both print and Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/Unstoppable-Ma...

It has been my joy and daily motivation to serve at schools - either substituting or volunteering. It is additionally my hope that I'll be going to more NMUSD schools (actually, every school in OCDE and beyond) to speak, juggle, encourage, and motivate students, staff, and families.

I passed the CalTPA Cycle 1 in May 2022, followed by Cycle 2 in November, 2022. I earned a Bachelor's in Biochemistry from Vanguard in May 2021, which followed an Associate's in Chemistry from the nearby OCC, a couple years prior. I'm excited and well prepared for the blessing of this future of mine and am seeing an ever-brighter light at the end of the tunnel!

I am the author to "Juggling the Issues: Living with Asperger's Syndrome".

It is being read and followed by readers in every continent except Antarctica.
